I agree with Mic. You did very well on the background. Nice shot.

Thanks.
I did the following in Photoshop:-
1. duplicate the picture into another layer.
2. lasso out the background and select "feathering" at 10 pixels
3. copy and paste the background into a new layer.
4. applied motion blurr to the background
5. move the duplicated picture to the top of all the other layers
6. set the "fill" to about 20 - 30 %
7. select the background layer
7. use the "eraser" tool to remove overlapping blurr on the cyclist from the background layer.
regards,
Arthur
